RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs libi.fork_skill safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Libi, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For libi.fork_skill, this is the rule to start with:

libi.fork_skill Rate-limited

libi.fork_skill stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
